"I NEED A GIRL" : PART 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 3rd September 2008, I put up the entry “I Need A Girl: Part 1” about girls being like tin cans, easy to find yet hard to open.
I just want to further enforce that I’m not stereotyping our Singapore girls at all. It was just an entry to poke fun and hopefully engaged in a little controversy.
I’m not a sexist. I just love to evoke a little bust up in the “discussion” about girls of Singapore.
And to all my girls out there, my friends that is, don’t worry none of the girls described in the entry was about you. Well not entirely at least! HAHA
Once again, I’m sorry if I have upset any girls with that entry and I sincerely do apologize. BUT, I’m not afraid to express what I wrote. I’m not sorry about that.

"UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“When was the last time the world wasn’t falling apart?” Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) ‘Blood Diamond 2006’
I love that movie. I swear it is my favorite movie of all time.
Anyways, so when was the last time the world wasn’t falling apart?
There’s been a vicious little rumor going around that the world was going to end in the year 2012. Apparently some of my friends read this off the internet. Last night, Mr. Ashley Kee even told me that the world will end after 2 more Catholic Popes take the reign of Catholics all over the world. Again, a friend of his read it off the internet.
I’ve got a little problem with this though. Wasn’t the world supposed to end when Nostradamus supposedly predicted the tragic September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center? Or that the world was going to end on 01st January 2000 thanks to the Y2K bug?
I must admit in a pessimistic sense that events happening around the world over the last couple of years haven’t exactly dispelled the rumors of the world ending. I mean, look at what Hurricane Katrina did to the States. Or the terrifying December 26th Tsunami which hit Asia, or the fact that Osama Bin Laden is still out there, continuing to strike fear in the hearts of everyone. Then there was the recent Sichuan earthquake in China, drought in some parts of the world, excessive flooding in other parts.
And yet, with so many predictions and so many climate changes, we are still here. We are still here together as one: fighting terrorism, fighting climate changes, running for charitable causes, hoping that Lindsay Lohan gets banned from making another movie.
I can’t predict what is going to happen to the world 6 months from now. But I know that whatever “world-ending” events that are being thrown at us, we will still continue to fight and to survive together. That’s why we are still here. We have been doing that for the last 2,000 years, I’m sure we will continue to do so for the next 2,000 years.
Just like the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics motto goes, “One world. One dream.” That’s the beauty of the human spirit I guess.
And it really is up to you to believe if the world is really going to end in the year 2012 but for me, I know I’ll continue to fight whatever is thrown at me. I say, “BRING IT!”
I’m actually looking forward to the 2012 London Summer Olympics more than the world ending in 2012.
2012. December.

"CARPE DIEM BABY"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m sure many of you out there have heard of the Latin phrase, “Carpe Diem”. To those who haven’t, basically “Carpe Diem” means “Seize the day! Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.”
I am one person who lives by that motto. I really do.
Of course it doesn’t mean that we are all going to die after we “eat, drink and be merry.” What it means is that, we should live everyday as if it is our last day on earth. For you never know what can happen tomorrow, I have experienced too many unexpected losses to live my life as if I’m absolutely certain I’ll live to a ripe, old age.
As Ronan Keating sang, “If tomorrow never comes, will she know how much I love her…” Can you honestly tell yourself that if I die tomorrow (touch wood of course), will I die living the life I wanted to live. Or did I die living a life that is not what I want.
I can understand why many of my friends think I’m the kind of person who is only capable of having fun and nothing else. That’s not true. I know when I should be serious, and when I should be having fun.
I do admit I haven’t done the serious part particularly well in the last couple years but hey, each day is a brand new day. The mistakes of yesterday can never be erased, but doesn’t mean I’m not learning to avoid it tomorrow.
Of course, you got to learn how to balance having fun and living life, with your priorities as you age every year.
And I know it is safe to say that I’m finally moving full steam ahead in the balancing equation. In the past, I would have too much fun over a period of time, then too much seriousness over another.
My priorities now are simple; I’m enlisting into the Police Force next Tuesday September 9th. I’ve got to get that done properly for 2 years; in between I still intend to study whilst serving my country. These are my priorities.
At the same time, I’m still going to live my life the way I always wanted to; having fun, being in the company of my friends, tennis, sports, travelling, etc. I’m not going to live my life working at a dead end job, or a 9am – 6pm office job. No. That’s not what I’m meant to do. And it will not be what I’m going to do. I will live my life; eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.
Seize the day
Carpe Diem!

"THE GOOD PEOPLE"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have once had the thought, are people really good or bad? In actual fact, people are neither good nor bad. A person is just a person; it is what we do that differentiates who’s good, and who’s bad.
Where do you cross the line of good and bad?
I was looking up the definition of good and bad in the dictionary (Oxford 5th Edition, 1999). Good: (1) that which is morally right or acceptable, (2) that which gives benefit, profit, advantage Bad: (1) morally unacceptable; wicked
Ok so let’s put it in this scenario. A good person would for example be of an older brother looking out for his younger sister on the streets after they have been abandoned by their parents. And a bad person would be if an older brother stealing food from the store because he’s younger sister is starving and they have no money.
Wait, so would that brother be a good person, OR a bad person?
How can you tell if a person is really good or bad? Of course we all know it’s a bad thing to steal. But to steal for a good cause…
Of course we all know that killing a person is one of the 7 deadly sins and obviously you would associate a murderer to be a bad person. Then if Sadam Hussein is sentenced to death for all the shit stuff he did and 1,000’s of innocent lives he took during his reign in Iraq, in your mind you know he deserves it. A life for a life and I truly agree whole heartedly. But do you see the irony in the whole situation here?
Some people are sent to this world to harm us, while there are others sent to this world to save us. People should just state their intentions clearly when you first meet them. Like, “Hi my name is Joshua and I’m going to do selfish things that benefit myself and not give a damn about you even though I keep telling everyone that I do,” OR “Hi my name is Jen and I’m going to break your heart twice but before I do that I’ll make sure you fall madly in love with me.”
“Sometimes I wonder if God will ever forgive us for what we have done to each other. Then I look around and I realize, God left this place a long time ago…” Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) ‘ Blood Diamond’
Do you ever wonder all the bad things that people do to each other, will God ever forgive us? I’m sure when he created the world, he wanted us all to be united as one. I’m sure many of us have at least once thought, “Why am I living in this world?” in our lifetime.
Every day you see and hear the things some people are capable of doing towards another human being. You can’t really help but feel helpless sometimes. Maybe the above quote (Danny Archer) links with the creation of the phrase, “A God forsaken world”.
So then, if someone does something “bad” towards you, will you forgive and forget? Rather the question should be, can you forgive AND forget?

"MY RIVAL"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I enjoy a good rivalry as it gives you a good opportunity to choose. Choices are one of the greatest gifts human beings can ever possess.
McDonald’s VS KFC This is a no brainer. Obviously of the 2, McDonald’s wins by a mile. Just take a look at the variety that McDonald’s offer: Hamburgers, Nuggets, Hotcakes, McWings, Coke, Milkshake, Ice Cream, Big Breakfast, Egg McMuffin, McChicken, Big Mac, French Fries, etc. and the list goes on… KFC offers you 2 or 3 pieces of chicken, zinger, cheese fries, what else? And everyone remembers McDonald’s crazy marketing campaigns like, “I’m Lovin’ It”, “McDonald’s at the Beijing Olympics”, and “Hello Kitty!” KFC offers us, wait let me think, uh nothing remotely worth remembering. And finally McDonald’s has Ronald McDonald, the only clown I never got scared off. KFC has big tubby colonel sanders who’s as plain and boring as Jade Seah on “Today in Beijing”.
Nike VS Adidas This is tough actually. I used to be a fanatic for Adidas but honestly, now I can’t really choose. But if I have to give the edge to either power brand, it would probably be Nike. I love Adidas’ marketing slogans like “Impossible is Nothing!” Then again, Nike has its famous “Just Do It” trademark. Adidas has David Beckham, Nike doesn’t. Nike has Lebron James, Adidas doesn’t. They both have awesome shoes! The only reason why I give the edge to Nike is that the designs that come out from Nike are awesome. It has better, more interesting designs and slogans on its’ clothing lines whereas Adidas’ clothing line is a little flat and plain.
Manchester United VS Chelsea Obviously the Red Devils by a mile. Man Utd plays rich football, Chelsea just has rich footballers. Man Utd plays in the “Theatre of Dreams”, Chelsea plays at somebody else’s bridge Man Utd are the Red Devils, Chelsea are the… the… what’s their mascot again? Man Utd had David Beckham, Chelsea had good players who were ½ of Beck’s marketing value Man Utd has Rooney, Ronaldo and Co. though Chelsea may have Ballack, Cole, Essien, Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Carvalho, Cech, Shevchenko, Obi Mikel (or is it Mikel Obi, or Obi Wan Kanobi) AND YET STILL LOST TO MANCHESTER UNITED IN THE FINALS OF MOSCOW 2007!
The Williams Sisters VS The Glamour Girls I’ll probably have to go with the “The Glamour Girls” on this one. But this is no disrespect to the Williams’. I think they are great competitors, tennis players, ambassadors and great for the game but I like the glamorous life. Who are the “Glamour Girls”?Maria Sharapova, Daniela Hantuchova, Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic, Maria Kirilenko, Elena Dementieva, etc.
Roger Federer VS Rafael Nadal One is one of the greatest, classiest tennis players to grace the planet. The other is a raging, dynamic tennis player at the top of the game. If I really had to choose between either champion, I would choose ANDY RODDICK over and over and over again.
USA VS China I’m not even going to attempt to give my views on this one.
Coke VS Pepsi There is a difference! Coke is actually heavier, sweeter then Pepsi is. But both pack enough punch to keep your sugar levels high. Both have equally impressive marketing campaigns. Both their “Lights” are awesome. Both their additional flavors kind of suck, “Vanilla Coke, Coke Zero, Pepsi Twist, Pepsi Lime” I think we are dead even here.
I never knew how related “Apologize” by One Republic was to me. This would have been the perfect song to play when I officially broke off with you about 1.5 years back.
“I’m holding on your rope, got me 10 feet off the ground,” How true, I keep holding onto the rope you threw me. I kept trying to hang onto every rare opportunity not to give you up. I thought it was truly my fault for you leaving me.
“And I’m hearing what you say, but I just can’t make a sound,” When you dropped the bomb on me, that you could be carrying something which can’t possibly be mine, what do you expect me to say? Did you really expect me to open my arms and welcome you back after leaving me to pick up the broken pieces?
“You tell me that you need me then you go and cut me down,” You really manipulated the whole situation. You really made me think that you were the 1st person I will give a 2nd chance to. And you turned it around and gave me a literal slap in the face.
“But wait, you tell me that you’re sorry, didn’t think I’d turn around and say,” You really thought that after you screwed up 2 chances I’ll give you a 3rd? Can you honestly tell me that you are all grown up now? All that begging and crying is falling on deaf ears babe.
“That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late. I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late. Yeah!” Don’t bother apologizing because all your past apologies obviously didn’t mean a thing to you. Now, you don’t mean a thing to me.
“I’d take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you.” I did. I took many chances for you. I took a fall for you. I took a shot for you.
“I need you like a heart needs a beat, but it’s nothing new.” You knew that. Everyone knew that. It really is nothing new.
“I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue.” This line just says it all.
“And you say sorry like an angel, heaven let me think was you, but I’m afraid,” You threw what you could to try and get into my good books. The angelic, innocent look doesn’t work on me no more.
All said and done, the past is the past. What you did, and what you do now will not and will never concern me.
Though I do wish you all the best with your new life and his life, maybe now you will be able to grow up. Let him be a reminder of your past and move onto a better future.
Forgive and forget as they always say.
I’ll never forget you. But I’ll never forgive you.

"JERKS OF ATTENTION"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, September 04, 2008
“All guys are jerks!”
I have heard this phrase oh so many times but are we really jerks? Ok let me be the subject of discussion. I’ll take the full beating but let’s just test the theory.
I have dated many girls. Most of them are not serious and truthfully I have had only 4 serious relationships. Let’s turn back time, I remember had my first crush when I was 10 years old(in 4th Grade ISB) for this girl named Amy Cheng. I had my first girlfriend when I was 11 years old. And my first serious relationship when I was 12 years old with this girl named Angela.
11 years later and I’ve been in 3 other serious relationships (Charlene, Shermaine and Jen) and countless other non-serious ones.
The girls I dated non-seriously are those who I met randomly, go on a couple of dates and then ones I got them interested, I dump them. That I admit.
Then there are the 4 girls I’ve dated seriously and of which I was fully committed in all and I didn’t fool around. Yet the last 3 broke my heart and ended nastily.
Can you say this is karma? Some of my friends do think so. Most of my friends just think I’m unlucky. As Sara always says, “Darren you are just damn unlucky when it comes to girls”. Yet could I be that unlucky if I constantly date girls, lead them on and then dump them. Then get dumped by the girls I’m serious about?
But in my defence, I wouldn’t say I’m a player and leading a girl on and then dumping them heartlessly. On the contrary, I’m actually saving them the trouble of getting deep into the relationship then I tell them, “I don’t think we are right for each other.” Let’s all be truthful with each other (Guys and girls alike). Let’s put it in this scenario, I meet a girl (Online, or through friends, or in school) and the 1st impression she gives me is that she’s in line with the type of girls I take an interest to. I get to know her, we talk, go on dates. After awhile, I realize, she is a good girl, but just not good enough for me. And I only know this when I get to know her better after the dates. That’s when I say IT’S OVER!
Isn’t that the point of dating? To get to know someone better to see if he or she in my case is someone I would really be serious about. You can’t fall in love with a person with immediate effect. I don’t believe in love at first sight.
I break up with the girls because I don’t love them enough to be serious about them. And I never say “I LOVE U” to someone I don’t or not serious about.
And to be fair, girls do this too. Don’t deny this girls, because I know plenty of girls who date guys, lead the guys on and then dump them or pull the trigger before it can go any deeper. I’m sure one of the reasons why is that after awhile, you realize the guy isn’t right for you. Am I not right to point out this statement?
So is it really fair and justifiable to claim that “All guys are jerks!”
I don’t think so.

"I NEED A GIRL" PART 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Girls are like tin cans, easy to find yet hard to open”: Part 2
The first part as you guys can see (Post below) was with regards to how girls are easy to find, like tin cans. Now comes the second part, perhaps much more serious than the first part was; girls are like tin cans, hard to open.
Come on girls, and yes guys I’m sure you agree, they are just like tin cans, hard to open.
When you open a tin can, generally you would need a can opener or a device close to a can opener.
Now just so we are clear, since I have unfortunately mentioned that this argument is more serious than the first one was, let’s just stay in context when I say that a can opener is needed to open a girl; I mean opening their minds and hearts, AND NOT other parts of the body which can also be opened with a specific kind of can opener.
Alright ladies, help us guys out a little here. Why are you so hard to open?
Admittedly, I’m pretty sure many of you girls do so to guard yourself for you were once a victim of opening too much to a guy who ended up breaking your heart. Yeah I admit, I’ve been guilty of doing so too.
But come on, don’t give me that bullshit that all of you girls went through the same thing. I’m sure even if you did have similar experiences, you did pull the same stunt on another guy.
And even if a guy seems to have gotten the right “can-opener”, he has to be careful not to cut himself just after he removes the lid. Cause sometimes it seems the girl may have been showing some sort of interest in you and starts opening up a little, she suddenly pulls back and says, “Woah I think it’s best if we remain friends. I don’t really have any feelings for you.”
So this proves that even if a guy has seemingly successfully opened a girl, it doesn’t necessary mean that he girl is open to him. Literally.
So what exactly is a guy to do?
What exactly are we to do…

"I NEED A GIRL" PART 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Girls are like tin cans, easy to find yet hard to open.”
This thought just came about randomly whilst my buddies and I were cruising on the highway. We saw a truck load of paint and Ken basically said, “Girls are like tin cans, easy to find,” and I duly finished the sentenced, “yet hard to open…”
I’m going to separate this discussion into 2 parts. Obviously, the 1st part is with regards to girls are like tin cans cause they are easy to find.
Tin cans, you can find it all over the place. Supermarkets, hypermarkets, homes, kitchens, rubbish dumps, high-end shops, paint shops, etc.
Basically, there are a variety of tin cans and its uses. Similarly, we have all sorts of girls in “sunny” Singapore!
If you love girls like Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Gisele Bundchen, etc. like I do, well buddy, you are looking at the wrong country!
We do have other girls who are hot though, let’s see… ahhh yes, our girls from NUS. Majority of the girls (if you are at the right faculty) are smart, hot, independent, fun-loving and did I mention intelligent?
If girls who like their Gucci’s and Prada’s interest you, then just look no further then downtown Orchard Road, or more specifically, Takashimaya and Paragon.
If you love girls who dress for the right occasion, stylish, on the whole intelligent, can pay for their own things, great dances, hot bodies; the place to be is Zouk (Ladies Night doesn’t count!).
Let’s not forget our sophisticated girls (with tight skirts) strutting their stuff at Raffles, Tanjong Pagar and City Hall! They didn’t get where they are by chance (Well most of them anyways). They got the brains and the money.
If you like American girls, as in seriously American girls then just head on down to DBL O. They aren’t Maria Sharapova or Beyonce but hey, American girls!
If the “OMG, I’m like so fucking hot so I like don’t have to use my brains and yet guys still love my ass” kind of girls, than just head on down to MOS (Yes “Ministry of Sound”). They seem to have infiltrated that particular area.
If girls with big ass, hot bodies, intelligence, money or style don’t attract you, then I suggest you see a psychiatrist.
Seriously dude what’s wrong with you?!
Fine, there are also these girls who do attract few guys.
Actually its quite easy to spot them since they have extremely thick yet cheap makeup on, ridiculously out of style skinny jeans, and a boring or senseless t-shirt with hair ironed so straight even a ruler is curved compared to it. These girls actually possess a trait that the girls above do not. If you can’t spot them, you can definitely hear them. Their broken, pathetic English mixed with half-past 6 Chinese and occasional Hokkien are uniquely theirs. They should be proud.
Please, don’t even think about thinking you are a very stylish, or intelligent, or eloquent kind of girl. You are not. PERIOD.
And if you are damn weird guy or just a fella who is perfectly incapable of getting a girl even at the lowest social structure of society (Reference to the unique girls) then well, I guess there’s just one more group of girls for you.
If girls who are filthy cheap. You can easily pick your choice by the side of Geylang Lorong 16. Trust me; they are definitely filthy AND cheap!
Alas, it is so true, “Girls are like tin cans, so easy to find yet hard to open.”
"NO AIR"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me clear the air for everybody. The first thing I look for in a girl, in any kind of girl, is how she carries herself. Meaning, I see how she dresses, how she carries herself and how she behaves.
Yes I admit that I’m extremely anal with regards to the kind of girl that I will truly serious about.
A girl I’m dating can be sweet, hot and intelligentbut if they can’t dress up when I’m out with them, or can’t carry herself “lady-like” when we are together, than that girl is not going to last long with me.
Of course I don’t mean that I’m looking for an ultra-sophisticated looking girl.
For example if I’m going to town, I would wear at least a t-shirt, jeans (or berms) and always shoes. Casual, comfortable but more importantly, properly dressed for the right time and place. You will not catch me wearing slippers or something I would wear to the 7-11 across my house.
Of course I am mortified when my friends meet me town in an ugly t-shirt, shorts and slippers. So can you imagine my mortification if the girl I’m dating dresses too casually?
It’s all about dressing at the right time, for the right place and right occasion.
Yeah basically the girl I will ever be serious about would be for a girl with class.
And yes, I do haveextremely high standards in the girls I want.
And to the girls I have dated and then dumped, you just weren’t good enough for me. I’m sorry.
This is one of my favorite slogans of all time, great marketing strategy too!
From Adidas’ famous “Impossible is Nothing!” slogan:
“Impossible is just a word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world that have been given than to explore the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact, it’s an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration, it’s a dare.
Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing!”

"YOUNG, DUMB AND UGLY"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, September 02, 2008
I think this is pretty amusing. This is pretty much an ugly side of tennis but Juan Martin Del Potro is freakingly childish! I sure hope Andy Murray kicks his ugly ass in the US OPEN Quarterfinals!
Ahhhh as promised earlier, I would update you guys on how the race went.
"The Day the World Stopped To Run"
Here's the route of the race.
Well it was one hell of a great day to run considering the weather of late has been pretty fucked up. Could be the time of the month for “Mother Nature” or something.
Rain. Sun. Rain. Sun. Wind. Rain. Sun.
Ridiculous weather. But that day was pretty much perfect.
We started at the 2nd Flag-Off 4.45pm @ Esplanade Bridge. Considering we started at the end of the race, we actually finished in 1 hour 07 mins and I'm ranked 3,156 out of 10,000 runners. Kenneth was 2 secs behind me and ranked 3,159.
And yes amazingly I didn't stop running throughout the 10km run except at certain points of the race where there were bottlenecks and everyone was stuck and couldn't move. Seriously couldn't move.
NIKE could have done a little better in that part especially in the beginning where they only blocked up one lane and everybody was crashing into each other in all directions. And we had to stop for a red-light.
Can u believe that?! We are running a marathon here and we have to stop for a red-light!
But overall it was pretty good considering I didn't even train at all!
And as I mentioned earlier, I told you my race (bib) number was 0808080 and let me stress once again how lucky I was as it was chosen at random.
Everybody who saw it was like “WOAH! OMG! WOAH”
Well I only have one response to them...
TOO DAMN BAD SUCKERS! I GOT THE NUMBER AND U DIDN'T! HAHAHAHA
Anyways, I'm still surviving as you can see. I want to run again next year!
